I'm trying to get my new MAXTOR 8.4 GB HD partioned and mounted. I ran through sysinstall with no luck. So it tried the hard way, with fdisk. Still no luck. I get different messages for different partition schemes. The one that I need help with should be the simplest: using all the space for FreeBSD. When I use sysinstall to do the partioning, I get an Incorrect Superblock size error when I try to mount. some fishy details: fdisk's geometry: c=760,h=255,s/t=63 (at beginning of my nightmare) sysintall's geometry: c=1021,h=255,sect/trk=63 (before I changed it to the manufacturers geom) manufacturers geometry: c=16278,h=16,sect/trk=63 Now I got a mess of /dev/rwd1s* that are fdisk-ed. maybe i just need to go to sleep and think about it more, but i'm really lost now. What do I need to do to get this hard drive partioned and mounted? I would like to create one FAT partion if possible. Thanks for you time! :) Shimmy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
